Our Inspired Look: Wallis Simpson: The Eva Dress

The premier of Madonna’s film W.E about the American socialite has seen the enigma that is Wallis Simpson creep back onto the fashion agenda, and quite rightly so! Often described as ‘not the best looking, but often the best dressed’, there is little surprise that the world has fallen for the controversial figure’s style all over again. Her sharp, crisp well thought out style reflected that of the decadent 1930s which saw the world change dramatically from the once golden era, to the constant perils of World War II. Wallis’ often demonstrated rather ironically a glamorous form of austerity, from her high neck lines and side splits to her long hemlines and cap sleeved dresses.

Our fabulous Eva dress channels a similar Wallis vibe with the floral design and gorgeous detailing on the cuffed sleeves with a neckline that is perfect for highlighting generous busts and striking curves. We would team this dress with dark coloured court shoes and a vintage purse during the day and for the evening,  red block heels and a matching turban to mix in the on trend sleek seventies vibe.

Interesting Fact: The main reason Wallis Simpson became a great figure of controversy was because of her marital status as a twice married divorcee, while she was involved with then ruling King Edward VIII.  As divorcees were not allowed to join the court, and threatened to cause a national constitutional crisis.  This led to Edward giving up his throne to marry her and instead take the title, the Duke of Windsor to which when the couple were married, they became the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

It is interesting how times have changed isn’t it ladies?
